description: 8" tall
This fine bi-colored crystal is distinguished by the following desirable traits:
(a) It is longer than average. Size does matter!
(b) It is double terminated - a shallow pyramidal termination on one end and a flat prismatic termination on the other.
(c) The faces are as lustrous as polished glass.
(d) The elbaite crystal is included by orange crystals of microlite. This is a rare mineral that contains tantalum. Hence, the inclusions add a lot of interest to this piece.
